330, Against all Odds by Shem Pachtmann (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Imagine living 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia after escaping from Egypt to be part of an experiment called "a city" that has been replicated since millions of times. The backbone of Sumerian culture was relatively modern agricultural techniques that freed up people's time, allowing for education, classism, government, and surplus. The region of Mesopotamia thrived for nearly 2,000 years before being conquered by Cyrus the Great and made part of the Persian Empire. During this period, a small tribe of an unknown amount of Jews survived in the Levant for about 2,500 years before Mesopotamia was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 B.C., and as a result of climatic change, disease, migration, and war, about 700 Jews still survived in the area under nomadic conditions before it was conquered by the Roman Empire in 115 A.D. The group was divided, and 330 Ashkenazi Jews made their way into Southern Europe and spread throughout the entire continent by 1,000 A.D. As they migrated, they ...

Water and Politics: Clientelism and Reform in Urban Mexico by Veronica Herrera (1 Review)    Price verified 4 minutes ago

Most of the world's population lives in cities in developing countries, where access to basic public services, such as water, electricity, and health clinics, is either inadequate or sorely missing. Water and Politics shows how politicians benefit politically from manipulating public service provision for electoral gain. In many young democracies, politicians exchange water service for votes or political support, rewarding allies or punishing political enemies. Surprisingly, the political problem of water provision has become more pronounced, as water service represents a valuable political currency in resource-scarce environments. Water and Politics finds that middle-class and industrial elites play an important role in generating pressure for public service reforms.
